The overall classification contenders had a key day today at the Tour de France's sole time-trial but they won't be able to relax on a stage that was seemingly for the sprinters. We arrive at stage 8, a day where the many small climbs can see a breakaway succeed but the strong crosswinds can cause chaos once again.
This stage could go to men like Arnaud de Lie, Biniam Girmay or Jasper Philipsen, but it could also go to the likes of a Mathieu van der Poel or Alberto Bettiol.
